Short Change Artists Strike Again

Post by Bill Call »

From the Plain Dealer:

If the Cleveland area was to get the same per capita amount as Franklin County we would be receiving $250 million rather than $50 million. Multiply that by all the years that Cuyahoga County has been short changed by Democratic and Republican administrations and it computes to billions in spending financed by Cuyahoga County and spent elsewhere.

Cleveland area politicians think you get prosperity by taxing your citizens to generate money to hand out to the politically well connected. Politicians elsewhere in Ohio understand that you finance your pet projects by taxing the OTHER guy.

I'm reminded that Cleveland got NO stimulus dollars even though there was money to finance the Nelsonville by-pass to nowhere:

We need to start electing people who spend less time chasing unicorns and more time handing out pork. In a dystopian kleptocracy like ours you need to elect better thieves to survive.
